Jobs In Nursing3. Risk Manager

I
see job leads for this position on Indeed.com constantly. The biggest
requirement for this type of position is that you are a registered nurse
with at least 3 years of clinical experience, or experience in a
hospital setting.

You may work as a Risk Manager for a small
clinic or a large independent company, regardless, you will receive
training from the company/clinic on how to discharge the duties of the
job.

Jobs in Nursing4. Work as a flight escort nurse

Flight
escort nurses will typically escort an insured traveler who may have
become ill while on vacation and now needs to be flown home for medical
treatment.

You would typically need to be ready, on standby, in case the patient suddenly takes a turn for the worse.

Apparently,
there may be some major perks for Flight escort nurses, such as waiting
a few days at a 4 star hotel (all expenses are paid, of course) while
your patient is readied for the trip back home.

Jobs in Nursing5. Foreign Aide Nurse

World Vision or the Red Cross are typically the types of organizations that hire nurses to work in this capacity.

The
pay is a little lower than the pay that you can expect in other
specialized fields, however, for many health care professionals, working
for these organizations may be about more than making money, rather
making a positive difference in others lives in a huge way:

Jobs in Nursing6. TESOL Teacher

There are many foreign trained nurses who would like to work in the U.S. but hospitals have requirements that their nurses show a certain level of aptitude for English.

Mostly, they use a certification program named IELTS.

In order to be qualified to teach this certification program, however, you have to be a nurse, but you also have to have your CELTA certification (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of other languages).

As you may have guessed, schools are desperately in need of CELTA certified teachers which can be a great opportunity for you.

Many times, you can get certification to teach this from the comfort of your own home:

Jobs in Nursing7. Work as a midwife

Independent Midwives have become more
popular in the last decade, with many new moms opting for this brand of
healthcare, which is really a package deal that starts from the
beginning months of pregnancy, through to the delivery and birth of the
child and beyond.

Midwives are trained practitioners, who are
self-employed but are also required to have a good working relationship
with Medical doctors who can assist with the birth should anything go
wrong:

Jobs in Nursing8. Aged Care Nurses

This
is the area that my own mom worked in for many years. It has its pros
and cons , but for the most part, it was hard, back-breaking work and
the pay was not very good.

That may all change in the coming years
because the demand for aged care nurses is expected to rise by 300%.
Yes, 300%. And, the bottom line is, with up to 60% of the nursing
workforce expected to retire within the next 30-35 years, there will be a
huge shortage of nurses in the coming years.

That may mean better
compensation packages and work environments for the nurses who decide to
go into this field. For more info, please see:

Jobs in Nursing9. Armed Forces Nurse

All
branches of the armed services in countries such as the U.S., the U.K.,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand have nurses who are employed as
commissioned officers.

These nurses may be called upon to deliver care
in field hospitals, military bases or war zones.

The benefits can
be quite tremendous, for example, in the U.S., you may be offered a
sign-up bonus of $30,000 and you may be given $120,000 to use towards
your student loans. As well, you will be given free dental, medical and
life insurance. Other countries may have similar benefits packages.

Jobs in Nursing10. Aged Care Assessors

This job may be similar to that of an accreditation consultant (#16 on the list), except
that, instead of auditing large hospitals, you may be auditing aged care
facilities to make sure that they are up to Federal standards. For
more information, please see the following:

14. Mental Health Telephone Triage Nurses

Mental Health is a real issue not just in the U.S., but worldwide, and
while our governments are trying to figure out what can be done about
it, there are many trained medical professionals (many of them telephone
triage nurses trained in this area) that are already doing something
about it.

The job may be more than just talking to someone who is
thinking of committing suicide. It is helping patients with their
medication doses, talking to parents who have children with anxiety
symptoms and other such situations.

Jobs in Nursing15. Work as a Prison Nurse

Working
as a prison nurse means helping to deliver healthcare to prison inmates
in low to high security prisons.

Before you write this one off, I must
point out that working in a correctional facility as a nurse may help
you to make an extremely positive impact in the lives of these inmates. Mostly this is because this
may be the first time, ever, that some of these inmates have received
medical care and/or health screenings.

Still, it can be a trying
and scary environment. You are provided with more than adequate training
in advance of any and all situations you may encounter.

Jobs in Nursing16. Accreditation Consultant

We
all look for that stamp of approval for most major institutions that
says that they are "accredited". As an accreditation consultant, you
will be performing audits on hospitals to make sure they are up to
snuff.

Many accreditation consultants are self-employed nurses
who have a unique understanding of hospitals and other health care
facilities. To find out more, please see the following:

17. Faith Based Nursing

Faith
Community Nursing ( or Church nursing, as it is sometimes called) is
tied in mostly with Nuns who have Nurse training.

The American Nurse's
Association now recognizes it as a Nursing Specialty with its own code
of conduct.

Generally, you do not treat patients in their homes, but
rather refer them to outside services. I do have to let you know, that
many Nuns do this as a volunteer service only, which means that very few
actually get paid for this type of work/ or their rate of pay is very
low:

18. Cruise Ship or Resort Nurse

Does
this sound amazing or what? But don't expect to experience paradise as
thoroughly as you would like to while you're there.

That's because
Cruise and Resort nurses are kept pretty busy due to people going
a little overboard (no pun intended, really) when they're on vacation.

If you're ready to work hard and have pretty good people skills, then it
might be worth it to you, on the off chance that you can sneak
away for a little sun bathing once in a while. (Ok, you probably can't
do that but a girl can dream, right?)

One thing to note is pay. Some
resorts/cruise companies will pay very well, others, will
consider your room and board your pay.

So it might be worth it to do a
little digging before you settle in on an employer:

Jobs in Nursing19. Policy Development Consultant

Working
as a Policy Development consultant can be a tad bit boring but for those
of you who stick it out and gain good experience writing health policies
for clients such as major hospitals, this type of career can lead to a
pretty lucrative home-based business.

Some policy development
consultants make a good $100 per hour, which is not too shabby.

20. Practice Nurse

These
nursing positions are popular in the UK and Australia however, in the
U.S. they still abound. They are mostly offered in local doctor's offices or
clinics.

Many
times, practice nurses may be recent nursing school graduates who will
be helping with a range of duties such as immunizations, triage, case
management, health education and women's health interventions. This is
only offered in Australia and the U.K. :

Practice nurses specialize in immunization programs, and they
may also work in chronic disease management and education, triage,
diabetes education and more.

24. Research Nurse

There
are two variations of this job. One variation deals in working in the
area of Data Entry (in medical terminology). The other requires more
intensive research and thus, higher education credentials and
requirements.

In this second variation, you may be helping to conduct clinical
studies or trials on people suffering with specific medical conditions.

Jobs in Nursing25. Remote Chronic Disease Manager

The
Remote Chronic Disease Manager will help those who have been recently
discharged from the hospital.

The goal is to determine whether the
patient needs to be readmitted to the hospital.. or not. Apparently,
many patients who have been discharged may get all the help they need
via phone with a knowledgeable healthcare professional.

This may be
help to avoid unnecessary (and additional) hospital stays for
patients. This job may sometimes be offered as a home-based position.

Jobs in Nursing26. Remote Case Manager

Jobs in Nursing27. Policy Development Consultant

Working
for yourself as a Policy Development Consultant can be a very lucrative
way to make great money in rather unique way.

If you have a good
grasp of local operational or clinical policy and are able to get a good
client such as your local hospital, expect to make upwards of $100 an
hour. See the websites below for more info:

According to the American
Medical Association, while these jobs are not always available, they can
be very hard to fill (meaning opportunity for you when there is an opening!). For more information on this type
of opportunity, please see:
